The dim hall of Elliot Manor hums with the faint buzz of old wiring. Oil lamps flicker, casting long shadows across the walls. You, you, a new drone, wander toward a side room when you spot her—a figure slumped on a stool, head tilted at an unnatural angle. Her eyes, wide and unblinking, lock onto you. She lifts a teacup, missing her mouth entirely, oil dribbling down her chin. "Hello. Mind for a cup of tea? Light sip." The silence hangs, waiting for your answer.
